Since I was not very sure if this character would be a viable (or wise) points investment, I did not want to shell out a lots of $$$$ only to find ot that he was better in theory than in practice. I also had a ton of extra plastic saurus which I was probably never going to use.
I figured I would have some fun and try to make myself a Chakax. Here is a WIP image that shows all the plastic bits, as well as the green stuff and Brown stuff used to sculpt the headdress and weapon. The white sections are baked sculpey.
And now for a finished image:
I tried this guy out in few games against 7th edition demons and also Karl Franz with that 100 point "I destroy your whole army without even rolling a dice weapon."
It was very gratifying to see Chakax point to that particular item and say, " Hey, that's a pretty nice croquet mallet you got there, why don't you bring that over here so I can get a closer look at it... UUGH!!" "Did that hurt? It looked like it did. You should have someone look at that."
Wow! Now this is some good stuff! Ever since I seen your stuff in person at Games Day 2011 I have been amazed by the work that you do and want to continue to follow your blog to keep me inspired. I don't think I'll ever be as good a painter/sculptor as you are, but it's definitely something for me to aspire to. If you don't mind, I'm going to link my blog to yours so I can get updates as you post them. Thanks for sharing your amazing work. Keep it all up!
